[Jhyler12]

Its about time to start thinking about where the wife and I will spend our summer vacation in 2011, anyone have any ideas for this year? Thanks...

what kind of vacation are you looking for?

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah, it kinda depends on where u live... I'm at the beach so I won't vacation there...

Outer Banks is cool, but even with beaches NC is diverse. Depends on what's important to you. Quiet? Fishing? Style?

Since you said Carolina spots I'd say:

Outer Banks-if you like relaxing, fishing

Ocean Isle, Sunset Beach- if you want to relax, yet have some nightlife within 30-45mins.

North Myrtle Beach- If you want more things to do besides the beach, golf

Charleston-More expensive to be by the ocean, but the amount of beaches and things to do downtown are incredible. golf

Hilton Head-More expensive, mostly relaxing some good bars, golf

Any one of these are good. It's what you're into. If these fail there is always the back up.

Myrtle Beach- I wouldn't pay money to stay on the strip, but if you get a deal at a nice place then do your thing. Be ready for fist pumping and rap music.

Bald Head Island...

No cars, nowhere to be, and nobody to impress...

Anywhere on the OBX is cool too...

went to Avon in the obx a couple times during college. awesome town, really small, very quiet, and the houses are huge, 5 stories and most have hot tubs!

[Darth Urious]

yeah, all those OBX towns can have their quiet/out of the way spots with awesome house rentals...

We usually go somewhere in the OBX every summer, as well as BHI...

Most NC beaches are quiet, except for maybe Carolina Beach and areas close to piers. We used to go to Long Beach (now all called Oak Island) and loved it. Creeks in the back to wade and net for shrimp/bait. We currently go to Emerald Isle primarily and really like it too.

Charleston is cool, tons of stuff to do.

if I have lived in NC all of my life and never went to the outer banks does that make me a retard?

Went to avon this summer. Drive your 4WD right on the beach and lots of fresh seafood. Cool spot
